Rhodes Street Reserve

Rhodes Street Reserve is a recently approved off‑leash dog area in Hillsdale—a strategically located, unfenced open space that gives local pups plenty of freedom under voice control. Nestled close to high‑density housing, it offers convenient access via Bunnerong Road and Rhodes Avenue, and includes shaded walking paths, lighting, bench seating, water taps, a dog waste bag dispenser, a BBQ, and public toilets.

Currently awaiting approval from Sydney Water, this off‑leash area is part of Bayside Council’s drive to expand pet‑friendly green space across suburbs like Bardwell Park and Bexley.

While it’s unfenced, the natural tree lines create a semi-defined boundary—voice recall and supervision are essential for dogs to stay safe.

Perfect for local residents seeking a quick walk or playful visit, Rhodes Street Reserve also serves as a calm, shaded stop-off thanks to its nearby facilities. It suits dogs and owners looking for a relaxed, less formal off-leash experience without long travel time.

Rhodes Street Reserve is managed by Bayside Council.
